Today’s book: Buddha’s Brain by Rick Hanson—an integration of neuroscience and ancient wisdom that shows how to rewire your brain for happiness, resilience, and compassion through intentional practice.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- What you think, you become—literally. Repeated thoughts and experiences physically change your brain (thanks to neuroplasticity).
- Take in the good. When something positive happens, savor it for 10–20 seconds to hardwire it into your nervous system.
- Calm the reactive brain. Practices like mindfulness, deep breathing, and meditation deactivate the stress response and strengthen the prefrontal cortex.
- Happiness is a skill. It’s not just genetic or circumstantial—it’s trainable through daily mental habits.
- Inner peace builds outer strength. A brain wired for calm and compassion helps you show up powerfully in the world.
Don’t just chase happiness—install it. What positive experience will you hardwire today?
